Military Facility Engineering: Building Resilience with Martin Design Group

In the evolving landscape of military operations, facility engineering is critical for ensuring mission readiness, security, and sustainability. Military facilities must withstand extreme conditions, incorporate cutting-edge technologies, and adapt to emerging threats. Some of these facilities are in contingency environments with varying expected useful lives dictated by mission requirements.  At Martin Design Group LLC (MDG), we bring veteran-led expertise with experience designing facilities in both the United States and OCONUS.  We bring innovative, resilient solutions for military construction and facility management, helping the Department of Defense (DoD) meet these demands with precision and efficiency.

Modern military facility engineering emphasizes durability, adaptability, and sustainability. Recent trends highlight the integration of advanced technologies like additive manufacturing and AI-driven design optimization to streamline construction and enhance operational readiness. For instance, the use of Expeditionary 3D Concrete Printers, as developed by the 175th Civil Engineer Squadron, allows rapid construction of fortified infrastructure with minimal manpower, improving blast resistance and energy efficiency. Additionally, sustainable practices, such as renewable energy integration and eco-friendly base construction, are becoming priorities to reduce environmental impact and ensure long-term operational resilience.

Martin Design Group is uniquely positioned to contribute to these advancements. Led by Jake Martin, with over 16 years of experience with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, MDG specializes in military construction, delivering tailored solutions that meet stringent DoD standards. Our expertise spans pavement designs, retaining walls, minor concrete structures supporting tactical bridging, and master planning layout.   MDG combines technical prowess with a deep understanding of how the military operates and makes decisions to create facilities that enhance mission effectiveness.

Military facilities all over the country and aging and we bring a deep understanding of building envelope failures through our forensic engineering line of services.  This aids military decision makers in helping decide repairability vs. planning for replacement. MDG’s veteran-owned perspective ensures we deliver not just buildings, but strategic assets that empower warfighters.  At the core of the military’s mission are Soldiers who must have confidence in their facilities to focus on their operational assignment.
